Video: Waqf Man Assaults Rabbi on Temple Mount

Video shot by Jews on the Temple Mount last week shows a man they say is a Waqf official punching and kicking a rabbi.
The video was shot Thursday morning by a member of the Jewish group, which had ascended the Mount in honor of the holiday of Sukkot – one of the three holidays in which Jews made pilgrimage to the Temple before its destruction by Romans over 1900 years ago.
